Ah, the inter-BBS message list? I thought that was a pretty cool feature when
I started using Synchronet. I've been wondering why there are so few BBSes on
that list and how that list is generated.

I ran a BBS in the 90s, but I took it down in 2000. I didn't get back into
BBSing until 2007, when I saw Jason Scott's documentary "BBS: The Documentary",
and I was curious how many BBSes were running online and was inspired to start
a BBS again. I am a little surprised I had not heard of Synchronet before
2007, but I don't remember there being any BBSes in my area using Synchronet in
the 90s..
